Marc Faber: World economy setting itself up for a bigger bust (21.11.09)
"The crisis has not solved anything. On the contrary there is less transparency today than there was before. The government's balance sheet is expanding, and the abuses that have led to the one cause of the crisis have continued.
"I think eventually there will be a big bust and then the whole credit expansion will come to an end. But before that happens, they will print money, and they will grow into very high inflation rate, and the economy will not respond.
"The average family will be hurt by that, and then in order to distract the attention of the people, the governments will go to war. People ask me against whom? Well, they will invent an enemy."

Legal Redress for Corporate Participation in International Human Rights Abuses: A Progress Report (Summer 2009)
In this article, ICJ [Intl. Commission of Jurists] Commissioner, Justice Ian Binnie of the Supreme Court of Canada, describes the progress that has been made, and that which remains to be made, in developing an acceptable legal liability framework for corporate human rights violations. In particular, Justice Binnie cites the ICJ's Expert Panel Report on Corporate Complicity and the SRSG [Special Representative of the UN Secretary General] John Ruggie's framework of "Protect, Respect, and Remedy," as important advances in defining this framework. He urges the greater development and use of both criminal and civil theories of liability for holding corporations accountable for violations. He also calls for victims who have exhausted all local remedies to have access to an international body such as the International Criminal Court.
